The Tampa Bay Lightning have a solid prospect pool, but now one of their biggest names has been handed a massive suspension for an incident in the AHL, and while no details were given, it appears it was the right move for the league to make.
Syracuse Crunch forward Maxim Groshev was suspended 10 games Friday by the American Hockey League for using what the AHL termed "racially insensitive language" toward an opponent.
The Florida Panthers will visit the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight at Amalie Arena in the penultimate preseason game for both teams. Tampa Bay won Monday’s tilt at Amerant Bank Arena by a 3-1 count.
Maxim Groshev broke his Top 25 streak after a strong debut in North America. Now he’ll be looking to earn a spot on the Tampa Bay Lightning this season.
